Enmity Seeing Shaytaan in the form of an enemy as he is here for our destruction The relationship between iblees and his troops is that they must follow his orders This is a must in any war Misleading at time of death Prophet (pbuh) used to pray: O Allah, I seek refuge with You from being thrown from a high place, old age, drowning and burning; and I seek refuge with You from being beaten by the Shaytaan at the time of death” Shaytaan could take control of a person when he is about to depart this world, and misguide him or stop him from repenting…” “Allahumma innee a’oodhu bika min al-taraddi wa’l-haram wa’l-gharaq wa’l-harq, wa a’oodhu bika an yatakhabatani al-shaytan ‘ind al-mawt [al-Nasai] Throne of iblees “The throne of Iblees is on the sea and he sends out his troops to spread mischief (fitnah) among the people. The greatest of them in his sight is the one who causes the most fitnah.” (Narrated by Muslim, 5031; Ahmad, no. 1427) He put his throne on the sea so he can see the action from far and have a good view. He has troops on horseback with arrows/bullets and these arrows are intended to be shot at the heart of man to cause harm Introduction to Roqya The recitation of Qur’an using authentic supplications and seeking refuge in Allah using His Names and Attributes Ruqya Treatment for evil eye • envy • possession • black magic • other illnesses such as fever Ruqya ash-Shariyyah free from shirk • involves the recitation of Qur’an • authentic supplications • and seeking assistance and refuge in Allah alone IT MUST BE: • the words of Allah (Qur’an), his names and his attributes • in the Arabic language or a language that is understood • That the person believe that Roqya has no benefit by itself But… the benefits and cure are from Allah Permissibility “Fath al Bari” and in the sayings of “Ibn Taymiyyah” concerning healing the one who is possessed Roqya ash-Shar’iyyah is permissible and legal in Islam as the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa salam) himself performed this type of Roqya and commanded others to do so Ruqya ash-Shirkiyyah • leads to sin and destruction • involves calling upon other than Allah • seeking assistance from the jinn, magic, horoscopes, charms & amulets Contains Shirk completely forbidden in Islam INTRODUCTION TO TYPES OF RAQI’S • Many dangers in the field of Roqya • Raqi needs to be strong physically and spiritually • A Raqi is a Mujahid fi Sabeelillah on the front line serving Allah • As a Raqi you will be helping: • • • • Family Friends Work Colleagues Strangers etc. Introduction to a Raqi Understand • • • Tawheed fully the decree of Allah the tactics of shaytaan and his enmity towards man Getting to know yourself • • • Am i possessed or not? Do i have sihr or not? Do i have Ayn or not? Challenges of a Raqi assess yourself before helping others in the correct way. challenging … but take care of yourself and then think about others Prophet’s (pbuh) statement is that the religion is advice Genuine Raqi Follows the example of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) AND the examples of the Sahaba, the righteous predecessors use du'as free from shirk and use everything which has evidence using medicines that help with treatment such as Black seed oil, hijamah etc. Mubtadi’ Raqi’s • Overstep the boundaries of ijtihaad • Anyone who practices innovation as far as religious matters • Use methods that are not from the Sunnah and can reach the extent where they are out of the fold of Islam • • • • • • • • having secrets which they only know resembling magicians doing signs with their hands mumbling words or names writing the Qur’an in a circle manner separating the letters writing different versus in different colours blatantly doing something against the shariah Raqi's who use the jinn • • • • • • • • • they are magicians claim to know the unseen such as Peers, Molvies etc. they cause more harm than good individuals who are trusted in their communities by people who don't have a good understanding of Tawheed These “Raqi’s” use ta’weez and other objects and commit so much shirk completely leaving the fold of Islam and become a danger to the community. some raqi’s who have been deceived by the permissibility of using Muslim jinn they go into it so much that they come out of reality until they resemble soothsayers and magicians they claim to know things which have been lost and news that has been passed on to them from the jinn Jinn What is: • jinn hunting • jinn catching KUFFAR RAQI • non-Muslim individuals • don't use the Qur'an and Sunnah in their methods • people of the book such as the Jews and Christians • There's a difference of opinion when it comes to seeking Roqya from them. Imam Ash-Shafi’I’s opinion Imam Ash-Shafi’i is of the opinion that we can seek Roqya from them as long as they use words from their books which are completely free from shirk The evidence for this is when Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (RAA) came to A'isha (RAA) and found her complaining of pain and a jewish lady was doing Roqya on her He said "Recite the book of Allah on her" i.e the words of Allah. No Sahabah went against him in regards to this statement Ibn Malik’s opinion • • • Ibn Malik did not like this opinion as well as other scholars. Their arguments is that most Roqya from non-Muslims contains shirk which makes it dangerous hence it should be avoided to avoid falling into haram Ibn Baz (RA) was in agreement with Imam Shafi’s view and said it should be allowed as long as it has no shirk in it. Who can perform Roqya In Islam, anyone can perform Roqya. There is no law that says you can't perform Roqya as long as you follow the Qur'an and Sunnah without transgressing the limits and falling into shirk. Ai'sha (RAA) narrated: "When the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was ill, he used to recite al-Mu'awidhatayn over himself and spit dryly. When his pain grew more intense, I recited over him and wiped him with his own hand, seeking its blessing. (Sahih Al-Bukhari) Who can perform Ruqya A person can also perform Roqya on themselves and their families and a wife can perform Roqya on her husband and vice-versa. The Prophet of Allah (PBUH) was asked about Roqya, and he replied: "Whoever among you is able to help his brother he should do so (Sahih Muslim) Attributes and principles of a Raqi • Tawheed is one of the fundamental principles • someone Muslims can account for • known in his community as a practicing and pious Muslim • striving in the path of Allah • intention behind his Roqya practice should not be for worldly gain • but to aid the oppressed and enjoin the good and forbid the evil purely for the sake of Allah Attributes and principles of a Raqi • guard the affairs of his patients, protect their secrets • Have knowledge and sufficient experience in the field of Ruqya • not treat women without a mahram present • If a mahram isn't available, then he must make sure that he has a Muslim who fears Allah and is practicing present Attributes and principles of a Raqi • He must give his patients sound advice to the best of his ability • He must not fall into the trap of shaytaan by talking unnecessarilyto the Jinn and prolonging conversations with them • He must always rely on Allah (SWT) for cure and humble himself at all times Attributes and principles of a Raqi • Allah (SWT) says in many places in the Qur’an that the Qur’an itself is a source of healing. • “And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.” (AlIsra’:82) • “Say it is for those who believe a guidance and a healing.” (Fussilat:44) • “Allah has not sent down an illness except that Allah sent down with it a cure.” • Likewise in the Ahadeeth of the Prophet (PBUH) there is evidence to show the permissibility of seeking treatment. • Allah has never created a disease but created its cure, it is known by some people and unknown to others, except death.” (At-Tabarani) Permissibility of seeking Ruqya • Narrated that Aisha (RAA) said: “The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to tell me to seek Roqya from others against the evil eye.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim) • Narrated that Aisha (RAA) said: “When the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was sick, Jibreel performed Roqya on him.” (Sahih Muslim) • Aisha (RAA) would perform Roqya on the prophet during his last days. The prophet (PBUH) would blow in his blessed hands and recite the three Quls and then wipe his hands over his body. When his illness intensified, Aisha (RAA) would blow and recite in his hands and then wipe his hands over his body. (Sahih Al-Bukhari) Ruqya and healing • Misconception that Roqya is only for Jinn possession, Ayn and sihr • Hadith of the Sahabi who did Roqya with Surat Al-Fatihah on a tribal leader who was stung by a scorpion and was cured using Roqya. • In another Hadeeth, the Prophet (PBUH) called for salt and water as he was bitten by a scorpion and then recited Qur’an. • In another Hadeeth, Aisha (RAA) narrates the prophet (PBUH) said: “In the name of Allah, the earth of our land along with the spittle from amongst us cures the ill amongst us by the permission of Allah.” Ruqya and healing • The Prophet (PBUH) therefore combined both physical medicine with spiritual medicine. The evidence for this can be taken out from the following two ayaat. • “And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss.” (Al-Isra’:82) • “Then eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy for you. There comes forth from their bellies (i.e Bees), a drink of varying colours wherein is healing for men. Verily in this is indeed a sign for people who think. (An-Nahl:69) Ruqya and healing • The law of Islam came to preserve five things: Religion, Life, Mind, Honour and Wealth • The Qur’aan mentions the principle of maintaining good health. • Ibn al-Qayyim said: The basic principles of medicine are three: prevention, maintaining and removing harmful substances Ruqya and healing Allaah says concerning the maintenance of good health: • “and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Sawm (fasts) must be made up] from other days” [al-Baqarah 2:185] • The traveller is allowed to break his fast during Ramadaan, to protect his health lest the combination of fasting and the difficulties of travel weakens him and affects his health. Ruqya and healing • Islam is a religion that encourages and gives importance to physical and spiritual wellbeing. [Zaad al maad by ibn al qayyim] • Islam promotes protection, prevention and treatment from any illnesses that can cause harm to ones physical and spiritual health. • For example ‘wudu’ (ablution – the act of cleansing ones face and limbs to enter a state of purity), not only does this purify a person in a spiritual sense but it also purifies and cleanses a person’s limbs from dirt and bacteria. • Similarly, the prayer and fasting have immense spiritual benefit and recently scientists have found out that fasting actually helps protect oneself against brain diseases.
